27-year-old Lance Naik Sai Teja from Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh has a 5-year-old son Mokshagna and 3-year-old daughter Darshini.
When Shyamala received a video call from her husband Lance Naik Sai Teja at around 8 in the morning on Wednesday, she had no idea it would be the last time she would speak to him.
As personal security officer to Chief of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat, he informed her that he would be travelling to Tamil Nadu later in the day. Around four hours later, he would be one of the 13 killed when their helicopter went down.
The 27-year-old from Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh has a 5-year-old son Mokshagna and 3-year-old daughter Darshini - both too young to realise the enormity of the tragedy that had struck their lives.
Lance Naik Sai Teja had last visited home three months ago during Ganesh Chaturthi. His mother Bhuvaneswari had reportedly encouraged both her sons to join the army. His younger brother Mahesh is serving the army in Sikkim.
